Gulf Breeze’s Hidden Treasure from Greece Jan 04

Gulf Breeze never ceases to amaze me. For those who don’t know, much like its neighbor to the south, Pensacola Beach, Gulf Breeze is one of the consummate beach communities for tourists and residents alike in the state of Florida. Along with a great education system, small town appeal, and a sense of community, it also has an amazing assortment of restaurants to choose from, but they’re not always so easy to find.

On a whim, my wife, who was pregnant at the time, and I decided to go for a drive through town to find a new place to flex our culinary palettes. We figured we’d probably stop at one of our trusty standbys until the cellphone rang; we pulled into a little plaza to take the call. That’s when we noticed a small sign that read “Aegean Breeze”; we could smell the aroma of delicious Greek cuisine in the air. We followed our noses under some shrubbery to the indiscreetly decorated front door.

Agean Breeze

Aegean Breeze - 913 Gulf Breeze Parkway, Gulf Breeze, FL - (850) 916-0430‎

Aside from the amazing aroma, the next thing we notice are the reasonable prices and specials posted outside. The moment we step inside we knew we struck gold. We were immediately greeted by a hostess and escorted to our table. The ambience is pleasant and the mellow sound of Middle Eastern music resonates beautifully with the lighting. The décor feels just like a traditional Greek restaurant you might find in South Beach. The service was kind and prompt. Our meals arrived in less than a half hour and the waitress was very concerned with our experience, frequently checking in and refilling drinks.

The food was absolutely delightful and cooked to perfection. We both ordered the 8oz. filet mignon on special for under $15. The meat was fresh and tender and cooked as ordered. For desert, we shared baklava. It was not too rich, nor too sweet. We left full and satisfied for under $40, making sure to tell all of our friends, family, and you about this hidden treasure in Gulf Breeze.

Your Panhandle Expert,

Bryce Halfacre

Frommer’s Names Panhandle Beaches “Top Destinations” for 2010 Dec 12

Panhandle Beaches "Top Destination"

Panhandle Beaches "Top Destination"

“One of the most trusted names in the travel industry has named the Northwest Florida panhandle as a Top Destination for 2010. These destinations represent the leading emerging vacation spots, under-appreciated cities, and places Frommer’s thinks people need to experience”.

On December 1, 2009 Frommer’s announced twelve top 2010 destinations they consider a must to visit. The Northwest Florida Panhandle is one of those twelve top 2010 destinations, and Florida Gulf Vacation is proud to be a part of this chosen area.

Even though Frommer’s editors and authors contributed their suggestions for the top destinations, this year they decided to let their readers nominate favorite spots. Then readers from around the world voted for the inaugural Reader Favorites.

See all the PANHANDLE BEACHES at Florida Gulf Vacation.
